Oscar del Barco Novillo

Oscar del Barco Novillo is a Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Murcia, affiliated with the Faculty of Optics and Optometry. His research focuses on interdisciplinary areas spanning optics, biomedical imaging, astrophysics, and quantum mechanics. He holds a PhD from the University of Murcia (2007) with a thesis on Efectos de tamaño finito en el tiempo túnel para electrones y fotones, supervised by Dr. Miguel Ortuño Ortín and Dr. Vladimir Gasparyan.

His work integrates advanced optical techniques such as multiphoton microscopy, second-harmonic generation imaging, and polarimetric analysis to study biological tissues (e.g., corneal structure, amyloid plaques in Alzheimer’s disease) and materials science. In astrophysics, he explores gamma-ray emissions from primordial black holes and gravitational lensing effects. His contributions to optical engineering include phase-compensation methods for broadband reflectors and dielectric mirror optimization.

Recent publications (2021–2024) highlight trends in:

• Biomedical applications of polarization-sensitive imaging for disease diagnosis
• Cosmological studies of primordial black holes and their astrophysical signatures
• Optimization of optical materials for broadband/IR applications
